Book 19 Psalms

19:001:001 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful.

19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.

19:001:003 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.

19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying,

19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.

19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
have them in derision.

19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure.

19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.

19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a potter's vessel.

19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.

19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

19:002:012 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.

19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they
that rise up against me.

19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
in God. Selah.

19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the
lifter up of mine head.

19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
his holy hill. Selah.

19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me round about.

19:003:007 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth
of the ungodly.

19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
people. Selah.

19:004:001 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast
enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.

19:004:002 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still. Selah.

19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
the LORD.

19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.

19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety.

19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
unto thee will I pray.

19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.

19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.

19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

19:005:007 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of
thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.

19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.

19:005:009 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.

19:005:010 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for
they have rebelled against thee.

19:005:011 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them
also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as with a shield.

19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.

19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me;
for my bones are vexed.

19:006:003 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
sake.

19:006:005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?

19:006:006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch with my tears.

19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.

19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.

19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.

19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed suddenly.

19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me, and deliver me:

19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
there is none to deliver.

19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;

19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

19:007:005 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him
tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.

19:007:006 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that
thou hast commanded.

19:007:007 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

19:007:008 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is
in me.

19:007:009 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts
and reins.

19:007:010 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

19:007:011 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.

19:007:012 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.

19:007:013 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

19:007:015 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.

19:007:016 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

19:007:017 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

19:008:002 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.

19:008:003 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

19:008:004 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?

19:008:005 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour.

19:008:006 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:

19:008:007 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

19:008:008 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.

19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

19:009:001 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.

19:009:002 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.

19:009:003 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence.

19:009:004 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.

19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

19:009:006 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them.

19:009:007 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.

19:009:008 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

19:009:009 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.

19:009:010 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

19:009:011 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.

19:009:012 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

19:009:013 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates
of death:

19:009:014 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

19:009:015 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken.

19:009:016 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
Selah.

19:009:017 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.

19:009:018 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.

19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged
in thy sight.

19:009:020 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves
to be but men. Selah.

19:010:001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?

19:010:002 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.

19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

19:010:004 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

19:010:005 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out
of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

19:010:006 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.

19:010:007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.

19:010:008 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are
privily set against the poor.

19:010:009 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him into his net.

19:010:010 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.

19:010:011 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.

19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.

19:010:013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.

19:010:014 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to
requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto
thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

19:010:015 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out
his wickedness till thou find none.

19:010:016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land.

19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

19:010:018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.

19:011:001 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a
bird to your mountain?

19:011:002 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their
arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.

19:011:003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in
heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

19:011:005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.

19:011:006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and
an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

19:011:007 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the upright.

19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.

19:012:002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

19:012:003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things:

19:012:004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord over us?

19:012:005 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety
from him that puffeth at him.

19:012:006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.

19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.

19:012:008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.

19:013:001 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?

19:013:002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;

19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

19:013:005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.

19:013:006 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.

19:014:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.

19:014:002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

19:014:003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

19:014:004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

19:014:005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of
the righteous.

19:014:006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
his refuge.

19:014:007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in
thy holy hill?

19:015:002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.

19:015:003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth
them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
changeth not.

19:015:005 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never
be moved.

19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;

19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight.

19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.

19:016:005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my lot.

19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.

19:016:007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
also instruct me in the night seasons.

19:016:008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not be moved.

19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in hope.

19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.

19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the
night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am
purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that
rise up against them.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
thy wings,

19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who
compass me about.

19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
speak proudly.

19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the earth;

19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in secret places.

19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, which is thy sword:

19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
           which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou
           fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and
           leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.

19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
men made me afraid.

19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.

19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
him, even into his ears.

19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.

19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.

19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
of the breath of thy nostrils.

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.

19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight.

19:018:025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the
froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

19:018:027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down
high looks.

19:018:028 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness.

19:018:029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall.

19:018:030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

19:018:031 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

19:018:032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way
perfect.

19:018:033 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my
high places.

19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms.

19:018:035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great.

19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not
slip.

19:018:037 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed.

19:018:038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.

19:018:039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

19:018:040 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I
might destroy them that hate me.

19:018:041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the
LORD, but he answered them not.

19:018:042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I
have not known shall serve me.

19:018:044 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves unto me.

19:018:045 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their
close places.

19:018:046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my
salvation be exalted.

19:018:047 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

19:018:048 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me
from the violent man.

19:018:049 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

19:018:050 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

19:019:001 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork.

19:019:002 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.

19:019:003 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not
heard.

19:019:004 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words
to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for
the sun,

19:019:005 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

19:019:006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
thereof.

19:019:007 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

19:019:008 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

19:019:009 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

19:019:010 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

19:019:011 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.

19:019:012 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.

19:019:013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I
shall be innocent from the great transgression.

19:019:014 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

19:020:001 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God
of Jacob defend thee;

19:020:002 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;

19:020:003 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
Selah.

19:020:004 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
counsel.

19:020:005 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God
we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

19:020:006 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right
hand.

19:020:007 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of the LORD our God.

19:020:008 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
upright.

19:020:009 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

19:021:001 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy
salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

19:021:002 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

19:021:003 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

19:021:004 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of
days for ever and ever.

19:021:005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
thou laid upon him.

19:021:006 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made
him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

19:021:007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
the most High he shall not be moved.

19:021:008 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
shall find out those that hate thee.

19:021:009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine
anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the
fire shall devour them.

19:021:010 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.

19:021:011 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

19:021:012 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou
shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the
face of them.

19:021:013 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power.

19:022:001 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

19:022:002 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in
the night season, and am not silent.

19:022:003 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of
Israel.

19:022:004 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
deliver them.

19:022:005 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in
thee, and were not confounded.

19:022:006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised
of the people.

19:022:007 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the
lip, they shake the head, saying,

19:022:008 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him
deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

19:022:009 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make
me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

19:022:010 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my
mother's belly.

19:022:011 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to
help.

19:022:012 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have
beset me round.

19:022:013 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a
roaring lion.

19:022:014 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

19:022:015 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
death.

19:022:016 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

19:022:017 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

19:022:018 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture.

19:022:019 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee
to help me.

19:022:020 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of
the dog.

19:022:021 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
horns of the unicorns.

19:022:022 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee.

19:022:023 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

19:022:024 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard.

19:022:025 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will
pay my vows before them that fear him.

19:022:026 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

19:022:027 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
thee.

19:022:028 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among
the nations.

19:022:029 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all
they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none
can keep alive his own soul.

19:022:030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for
a generation.

19:022:031 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

19:023:001 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

19:023:002 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.

19:023:003 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

19:023:004 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.

19:023:005 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

19:023:006 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

19:024:001 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.

19:024:002 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon
the floods.

19:024:003 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand
in his holy place?

19:024:004 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

19:024:005 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
from the God of his salvation.

19:024:006 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
face, O Jacob. Selah.

19:024:007 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:008 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
LORD mighty in battle.

19:024:009 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:010 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King
of glory. Selah.

19:025:001 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

19:025:002 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine
enemies triumph over me.

19:025:003 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
ashamed which transgress without cause.

19:025:004 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

19:025:005 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my
salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

19:025:006 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.

19:025:007 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness'
sake, O LORD.

19:025:008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners
in the way.

19:025:009 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach
his way.

19:025:010 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as
keep his covenant and his testimonies.

19:025:011 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is
great.

19:025:012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in
the way that he shall choose.

19:025:013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the
earth.

19:025:014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will
shew them his covenant.

19:025:015 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet
out of the net.

19:025:016 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate
and afflicted.

19:025:017 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of
my distresses.

19:025:018 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
sins.

19:025:019 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me
with cruel hatred.

19:025:020 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I
put my trust in thee.

19:025:021 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

19:025:022 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

19:026:001 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have
trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

19:026:002 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

19:026:003 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked
in thy truth.

19:026:004 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
dissemblers.

19:026:005 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit
with the wicked.

19:026:006 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine
altar, O LORD:

19:026:007 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of
all thy wondrous works.

19:026:008 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour dwelleth.

19:026:009 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

19:026:010 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of
bribes.

19:026:011 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and
be merciful unto me.

19:026:012 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I
bless the LORD.

19:027:001 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the
LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

19:027:002 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me
to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

19:027:003 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be
confident.

19:027:004 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
           that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
           life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
           temple.

19:027:005 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
me up upon a rock.

19:027:006 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round
about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

19:027:007 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
me, and answer me.

19:027:008 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

19:027:009 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake
me, O God of my salvation.

19:027:010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will
take me up.

19:027:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because
of mine enemies.

19:027:012 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.

19:027:013 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of
the LORD in the land of the living.

19:027:014 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

19:028:001 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down
into the pit.

19:028:002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when
I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

19:028:003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief
is in their hearts.

19:028:004 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of
their hands; render to them their desert.

19:028:005 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build
them up.

19:028:006 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.

19:028:007 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.

19:028:008 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of
his anointed.

19:028:009 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for ever.

19:029:001 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
strength.

19:029:002 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the
LORD in the beauty of holiness.

19:029:003 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory
thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

19:029:004 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is
full of majesty.

19:029:005 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

19:029:006 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
like a young unicorn.

19:029:007 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

19:029:008 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh
the wilderness of Kadesh.

19:029:009 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and
discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one
speak of his glory.

19:029:010 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King
for ever.

19:029:011 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will
bless his people with peace.

19:030:001 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and
hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

19:030:002 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

19:030:003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

19:030:004 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.

19:030:005 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

19:030:006 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

19:030:007 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

19:030:008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
supplication.

19:030:009 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

19:030:010 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

19:030:011 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

19:030:012 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

19:031:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.

19:031:002 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

19:031:003 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's
sake lead me, and guide me.

19:031:004 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
thou art my strength.

19:031:005 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth.

19:031:006 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in
the LORD.

19:031:007 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

19:031:008 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a large room.

19:031:009 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

19:031:010 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
consumed.

19:031:011 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did
see me without fled from me.

19:031:012 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.

19:031:013 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to
take away my life.

19:031:014 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

19:031:015 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me.

19:031:016 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies' sake.

19:031:017 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave.

19:031:018 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19:031:019 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in
thee before the sons of men!

19:031:020 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
the strife of tongues.

19:031:021 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city.

19:031:022 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when
I cried unto thee.

19:031:023 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth
the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

19:031:024 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.

19:032:001 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.

19:032:002 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no guile.

19:032:003 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.

19:032:004 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

19:032:005 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

19:032:006 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a
time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

19:032:007 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

19:032:008 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

19:032:009 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and
bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

19:032:010 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in
the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

19:032:011 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

19:033:001 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for
the upright.

19:033:002 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and
an instrument of ten strings.

19:033:003 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

19:033:004 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done
in truth.

19:033:005 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.

19:033:006 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the
host of them by the breath of his mouth.

19:033:007 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
layeth up the depth in storehouses.

19:033:008 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
the world stand in awe of him.

19:033:009 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast.

19:033:010 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

19:033:011 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.

19:033:012 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people
whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

19:033:013 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
men.

19:033:014 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.

19:033:015 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.

19:033:016 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by much strength.

19:033:017 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.

19:033:018 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;

19:033:019 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.

19:033:020 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

19:033:021 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.

19:033:022 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in
thee.

19:034:001 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my mouth.

19:034:002 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall
hear thereof, and be glad.

19:034:003 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
together.

19:034:004 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all
my fears.

19:034:005 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.

19:034:006 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out
of all his troubles.

19:034:007 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth them.

19:034:008 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.

19:034:009 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them
that fear him.

19:034:010 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good thing.

19:034:011 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.

19:034:012 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that
he may see good?

19:034:013 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

19:034:014 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

19:034:015 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.

19:034:016 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.

19:034:017 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them
out of all their troubles.

19:034:018 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19:034:019 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of them all.

19:034:020 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

19:034:021 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.

19:034:022 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.

19:035:001 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight
against them that fight against me.

19:035:002 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

19:035:003 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that
persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

19:035:004 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my
soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that
devise my hurt.

19:035:005 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
LORD chase them.

19:035:006 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
LORD persecute them.

19:035:007 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.

19:035:008 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net
that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let
him fall.

19:035:009 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in
his salvation.

19:035:010 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea,
the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

19:035:011 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things
that I knew not.

19:035:012 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

19:035:013 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into
mine own bosom.

19:035:014 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I
bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

19:035:015 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves
           together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together
           against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased
           not:

19:035:016 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with
their teeth.

19:035:017 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions.

19:035:018 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will
praise thee among much people.

19:035:019 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a
cause.

19:035:020 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
against them that are quiet in the land.

19:035:021 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen it.

19:035:022 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not
far from me.

19:035:023 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,
my God and my Lord.

19:035:024 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and
let them not rejoice over me.

19:035:025 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let
them not say, We have swallowed him up.

19:035:026 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and
dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

19:035:027 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous
           cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
           magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
           servant.

19:035:028 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy
praise all the day long.

19:036:001 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that
there is no fear of God before his eyes.

19:036:002 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity
be found to be hateful.

19:036:003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left
off to be wise, and to do good.

19:036:004 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

19:036:005 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.

19:036:006 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments
are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

19:036:007 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

19:036:008 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures.

19:036:009 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light.

19:036:010 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

19:036:011 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
hand of the wicked remove me.

19:036:012 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.

19:037:001 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity.

19:037:002 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb.

19:037:003 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

19:037:004 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.

19:037:005 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.

19:037:006 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
thy judgment as the noonday.

19:037:007 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

19:037:008 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any
wise to do evil.

19:037:009 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

19:037:010 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

19:037:011 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.

19:037:012 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth.

19:037:013 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
coming.

19:037:014 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of
upright conversation.

19:037:015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.

19:037:016 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches
of many wicked.

19:037:017 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous.

19:037:018 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be for ever.

19:037:019 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.

19:037:020 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall
be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall
they consume away.

19:037:021 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.

19:037:022 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and
they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

19:037:023 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.

19:037:024 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

19:037:025 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

19:037:026 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

19:037:027 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

19:037:028 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall
be cut off.

19:037:029 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
ever.

19:037:030 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.

19:037:031 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.

19:037:032 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

19:037:033 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when
he is judged.

19:037:034 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see
it.

19:037:035 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.

19:037:036 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him,
but he could not be found.

19:037:037 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of
that man is peace.

19:037:038 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.

19:037:039 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of trouble.

19:037:040 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall
deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they
trust in him.

19:038:001 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy
hot displeasure.

19:038:002 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me
sore.

19:038:003 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

19:038:004 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy
burden they are too heavy for me.

19:038:005 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

19:038:006 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the
day long.

19:038:007 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is
no soundness in my flesh.

19:038:008 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the
disquietness of my heart.

19:038:009 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid
from thee.

19:038:010 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of
mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

19:038:011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
kinsmen stand afar off.

19:038:012 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine
deceits all the day long.

19:038:013 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth.

19:038:014 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are
no reproofs.

19:038:015 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

19:038:016 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over
me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

19:038:017 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before
me.

19:038:018 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19:038:019 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they
that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

19:038:020 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;
because I follow the thing that good is.

19:038:021 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

19:038:022 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

19:039:001 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my
tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
is before me.

19:039:002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and
my sorrow was stirred.

19:039:003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire
burned: then spake I with my tongue,

19:039:004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days,
what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

19:039:005 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age
is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity. Selah.

19:039:006 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who
shall gather them.

19:039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

19:039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the
reproach of the foolish.

19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of
thine hand.

19:039:011 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every
man is vanity. Selah.

19:039:012 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a
sojourner, as all my fathers were.

19:039:013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence,
and be no more.

19:040:001 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.

19:040:002 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

19:040:003 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

19:040:004 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

19:040:005 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
           done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be
           reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak
           of them, they are more than can be numbered.

19:040:006 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not
required.

19:040:007 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is
written of me,

19:040:008 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my
heart.

19:040:009 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

19:040:010 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
           declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
           concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great
           congregation.

19:040:011 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy
lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

19:040:012 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
           have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;
           they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
           faileth me.

19:040:013 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
me.

19:040:014 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to
shame that wish me evil.

19:040:015 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.

19:040:016 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let
such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be
magnified.

19:040:017 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou
art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

19:041:001 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.

19:041:002 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto
the will of his enemies.

19:041:003 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

19:041:004 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
sinned against thee.

19:041:005 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name
perish?

19:041:006 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart
gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth
it.

19:041:007 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
they devise my hurt.

19:041:008 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now
that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

19:041:009 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did
eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

19:041:010 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
may requite them.

19:041:011 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me.

19:041:012 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
settest me before thy face for ever.

19:041:013 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

19:042:001 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.

19:042:002 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I
come and appear before God?

19:042:003 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they
continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

19:042:004 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I
           had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of
           God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that
           kept holyday.

19:042:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the
help of his countenance.

19:042:006 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.

19:042:007 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all
thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

19:042:008 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time,
and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto
the God of my life.

19:042:009 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why
go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

19:042:010 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while
they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

19:042:011 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who
is the health of my countenance, and my God.

19:043:001 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:
O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

19:043:002 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me
off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

19:043:003 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

19:043:004 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding
joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

19:043:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my God.

19:044:001 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

19:044:002 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and
plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast
them out.

19:044:003 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
           neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and
           thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou
           hadst a favour unto them.

19:044:004 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

19:044:005 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name
will we tread them under that rise up against us.

19:044:006 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save
me.

19:044:007 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to
shame that hated us.

19:044:008 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for
ever. Selah.

19:044:009 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not
forth with our armies.

19:044:010 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which
hate us spoil for themselves.

19:044:011 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast
scattered us among the heathen.

19:044:012 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy
wealth by their price.

19:044:013 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a
derision to them that are round about us.

19:044:014 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the
head among the people.

19:044:015 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my
face hath covered me,

19:044:016 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
reason of the enemy and avenger.

19:044:017 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

19:044:018 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined
from thy way;

19:044:019 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and
covered us with the shadow of death.

19:044:020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our
hands to a strange god;

19:044:021 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of
the heart.

19:044:022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
counted as sheep for the slaughter.

19:044:023 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for
ever.

19:044:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction
and our oppression?

19:044:025 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
unto the earth.

19:044:026 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

19:045:001 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things
which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a
ready writer.

19:045:002 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

19:045:003 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory
and thy majesty.

19:045:004 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things.

19:045:005 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
whereby the people fall under thee.

19:045:006 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom is a right sceptre.

19:045:007 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.

19:045:008 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of
the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

19:045:009 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy
right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

19:045:010 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

19:045:011 So shall the king g
